Moriarty's Gem Art :
This fluorite came from the famous Rogerley Mine in the UK, known for its rich green crystals and incredible blue daylight fluorescence. The nearby Diana Maria Mine in Weardale continues to produce some beautiful fluorescent fluorite today. What made this crystal special was its deep green color, clarity, and strong blue fluorescence. Fluorite is soft and easily damaged, so it’s really a collector’s gemstone rather than something I’d recommend for jewelry. The biggest challenge was preserving the fluorescence while cutting it. In this crystal, the strongest blue response was concentrated in a thin layer near the natural crystal surfaces. If I cut too much away, I could end up with a beautiful green gem but lose the blue fluorescence that made it so unique. Because of that, I followed the natural faces and removed as little material as possible from the pavilion. That’s why the underside has an unusual, simple design with just the main facets and a culet facet, paired with a step-cut crown. The result exceeded my expectations. It has surprisingly beautiful brilliance, and most importantly, I preserved that incredible green-to-blue daylight fluorescence. For the best effect, view it in diffused daylight rather than direct sunlight. The UV in daylight brings out the blue, and under longwave UV it fluoresces intensely too. -Steve Moriarty

everyone saying he wasted the stone doesn't know a thing about gem makers. there are often inclusions and cracks, seams, etc. that need to be removed before shaping, keeping a stone big is only possible with a really good specimen.

Something Clever :
is it possible to cut one small enough to fit in a ring and still have it turn that amazing blue?

Absolutely amazing! I’d love to hear more about how the stone fluoresces in daylight.

Can you turn one into a numbered 20-sided ployhedral, so I can use it to play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends?

From the Diana Maria mine? I have a small one of those and I am addicted to taking it in the sun to see the blue. This is spectacular!

Almost 40 years in the business and I must be honest that is one of the most breathtaking examples of fluoride that I have ever seen. The perfect amount of fluorescence simulation and refract theory qualities make this a very special stone indeed. Thank you sir, for sharing it.
